Nole is chasing history!
The world no.1 has the opportunity to be the first player in tennis history to have won all 9 Masters and that will happen if the Serb wins the title in Cincinnati.
The Djoker started his campaign in Cincinnati with a straight sets win against Pico Monaco. Nole didn’t play at his best especially in the first set when he had to concede two breaks. After winning the opener, the world no.1 got back to his tennis to win the second set 6-2 without even conceding a break point. The match ended after 1 hour and 17 minutes. Match Stats.
Nole: The conditions are different than Montreal
The world no. 1commented “I expected a little bit of a challenge for myself. Especially because he’s a good player, but also because it’s the first match here in Cincinnati, which has different conditions from what we played in Montreal.”
Next vs. Goffin
Nole will play the third round against David Goffin that has defeated Vasek Pospisil 7-5 1-6 7-6 (6). Head to head is 1-0 for Djokovic in this year’s 1st round in Paris. Details
